Fausta Kybartienė(29)

All artworks

Fausta Kybartienė is an artist whose love for painting and drawing began in her childhood, though it took many years before she devoted herself to it entirely. The demands of everyday life—education, raising a family, work, and managing a household—always came first, pushing her artistic aspirations deep into her subconscious for a considerable time. Even during the years she did not paint, her connection to art remained strong, nurtured by the creative atmosphere in her home.

During her upbringing, Fausta was surrounded by women who were professional folk artists, who constantly integrated beautiful crafts—such as weaving, knitting, and sewing—into their daily lives. She became intimately familiar with these traditional handicrafts, spending her early childhood among spools of yarn, detailed patterns, looms, colourful dyes, and vivid hues. The artistic environment within her home wove creativity into her everyday existence and laid the foundation for her future as a painter.

It was only recently that Fausta began her path as a painter, approaching it with both caution and determination. Wanting to strengthen her skills and avoid starting completely anew, she enrolled at the Kaunas A. Martinitis Art School, where she studied for four years. The guidance and collaboration with prominent Lithuanian artists affirmed her painting abilities and filled her with genuine happiness and satisfaction. Painting, she realized, was far more than a passing interest; it turned into a profound source of joy in her life.

After completing her studies at the art school, Fausta continues to advance her artistic abilities and immerse herself more deeply in painting by continuing her education at the Vilnius Academy of Arts Faculty (VDA KF). Taking part in plein-air exhibitions, she creates works that depict her surroundings and the things that bring her joy. She is especially drawn to painting outdoors in nature, where she discovers inspiration in harmonious yet surprising blends of natural colours.

About this artwork+

This painting by Fausta Kybartienė, titled "Garden II," features a solitary green apple. The apple sits boldly in the center, its lush green tones highlighted against a dusky, muted background. Fausta employs a soft, almost blurry style that gives the artwork a dreamlike quality. Her brushwork adds texture, making the fruit look tangibly juicy and fresh. The artist’s use of light and shadow plays beautifully across the apple’s surface, enhancing its round shape and the gentle variations in color from green to yellow. The simplicity of the composition draws attention to the apple, making it a vibrant focal point against the darker hues behind it. This piece is a lovely example of how Fausta Kybartienė captures everyday subjects and imbues them with a sense of greater depth and emotion.
